2 Chronicles 3

1 Then Solomon began to build the LORD’s house at Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the LORD appeared to David his father, which he prepared in the place that David had appointed, on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

所羅門就在耶路撒冷、耶和華向他父大衛顯現的摩利亞山上，就是耶布斯人阿珥楠的禾場上、大衛所指定的地方預備好了，開工建造耶和華的殿。

2 He began to build in the second day of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.

所羅門作王第四年二月初二日開工建造。

3 Now these are the foundations which Solomon laid for the building of God’s house: the length by cubits after the first measure was sixty cubits, and the width twenty cubits.

所羅門建築上帝殿的根基，乃是這樣：長六十肘，寬二十肘，都按着古時的尺寸。

4 The porch that was in front, its length, across the width of the house, was twenty cubits, and the height one hundred and twenty; and he overlaid it within with pure gold.

殿前的廊子長二十肘，與殿的寬窄一樣，高一百二十肘；裏面貼上精金。

5 He made the larger room with a ceiling of cypress wood, which he overlaid with fine gold, and ornamented it with palm trees and chains.

大殿的牆都用松木板遮蔽，又貼了精金，上面雕刻棕樹和鍊子；

6 He decorated the house with precious stones for beauty. The gold was gold from Parvaim.

又用寶石裝飾殿牆，使殿華美；所用的金子都是巴瓦音的金子。

7 He also overlaid the house, the beams, the thresholds, its walls, and its doors with gold, and engraved cherubim on the walls.

又用金子貼殿和殿的棟樑、門檻、牆壁、門扇；牆上雕刻基路伯。

8 He made the most holy place. Its length, according to the width of the house, was twenty cubits, and its width twenty cubits; and he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to six hundred talents.

又建造至聖所，長二十肘，與殿的寬窄一樣，寬也是二十肘；貼上精金，共用金子六百他連得。

9 The weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. He overlaid the upper rooms with gold.

金釘重五十舍客勒。樓房都貼上金子。

10 In the most holy place he made two cherubim by carving, and they overlaid them with gold.

在至聖所按造像的法子造兩個基路伯，用金子包裹。

11 The wings of the cherubim were twenty cubits long: the wing of the one was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house; and the other wing was five cubits, reaching to the wing of the other cherub.

兩個基路伯的翅膀共長二十肘。這基路伯的一個翅膀長五肘，挨着殿這邊的牆；那一個翅膀也長五肘，與那基路伯翅膀相接。

12 The wing of the other cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house; and the other wing was five cubits, joining to the wing of the other cherub.

那基路伯的一個翅膀長五肘，挨着殿那邊的牆；那一個翅膀也長五肘，與這基路伯的翅膀相接。

13 The wings of these cherubim spread themselves out twenty cubits. They stood on their feet, and their faces were towards the house.

兩個基路伯張開翅膀，共長二十肘，面向外殿而立。

14 He made the veil of blue, purple, crimson, and fine linen, and ornamented it with cherubim.

又用藍色、紫色、朱紅色線和細麻織幔子，在其上繡出基路伯來。

15 Also he made before the house two pillars thirty-five cubits high, and the capital that was on the top of each of them was five cubits.

在殿前造了兩根柱子，高三十五肘；每柱頂高五肘。

16 He made chains in the inner sanctuary, and put them on the tops of the pillars; and he made one hundred pomegranates, and put them on the chains.

又照聖所內鍊子的樣式做鍊子，安在柱頂上；又做一百石榴，安在鍊子上。

17 He set up the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand and the other on the left; and called the name of that on the right hand Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz.

將兩根柱子立在殿前，一根在右邊，一根在左邊；右邊的起名叫雅斤，左邊的起名叫波阿斯。
